I am Xtreme
Its a good board, but the Biostar has problems which I'm rounding the troops up for to try and do something about.
Good stuff
- Stonkingly good OCer, easily capable of some WRs.
Bad stuff
- All voltage granularity options are piss-poor (CPU, memory, chipset, etc)
- PSB800 is bugged, board will not POST with this setting (oddly, when using a 800 CPU such as a E4400 and the setting is left on auto, it works fine)
- Memory compatibility sucks
- Very few fan headers on the board (3, and that includes the CPU fan header!)
- Many reports of crap memory OCs on sticks other boards take into space
Thats just what I can think of off the top of my head. General feeling from a lot of users is that they overpaid for a budget board. To really add insult to injury Biostar have not released any updated BIOS for the board, despite the fact they made A LOT of money with the TPower. I know of some people who tried asking Biostar about updated BIOS code and listed various issues. Biostars responce was basically "Don't like it? We don't care.".
